WiiWare, Virtual Console & DSiWare Releases (PAL)

Some great games on this weeks PAL update. First up is the mind-melting ‘Bit. Trip Core‘ on WiiWare which is as addictive and difficult as the original Bit. Trip Beat. Classic ‘Pilotwings‘ from the SNES also makes its way to Wii via Virtual Console and the excellent ‘Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again’ on DSi.

There’s two more too. Check them out after the break.
